Mora's stainless and high carbon steels are excellent. Nothing wrong with Buck's 420HC steel, either.

Kershaw Skyline uses 14C28N
The Svord peasant knives (friction folders) are L6 steel, which is pretty darn good.
Opinel's carbon steel is great as well, well under that price.
Slightly more than your price limit - $70:
The Kershaw Speedform II is Elmax. Also at that price point is the Blur, which comes in S30V.

Composite blade Leeks aren't expensive, and even the regular ones aren't shabby. Blurs too.
AG Russell's Featherlite is available in AUS8 or VG-10 for under fifty. The Hunters Scalpel is AUS10, for only twenty bucks. And his fixed blade knives like the Bird and Trout and Hunters Scalpel come in D2, AUS8, and ATS-34 all for under fifty bucks.
Most of the original Old Timer knives were made with 1095 carbon steel (awesome stuff), and you can easily pick up a new or lightly-used specimen for under $50, depending on the model.
Happy shopping. :thumbup:

I have been pleased with this Gerber Profile, which feels better to me when modified as in the photo
also, this Russell Green River Sheep skinner has excellent 1095 steel, and works great

except for the stretch and the caly, the spyderco zdp 189 knives cost less than 100.

Spyderco Endura/Delica. It may be a little bit over $50, but FRN handles with VG10 steel. The Centofante 3 or 4 is around $45, I believe. VG10 as well.

Esee.
Buck Vantage Pro is usually in the $50-60 range and uses s30v steel. Occasionally the Kershaw blur s30v version can be had in that price range as well. You can also pick up some spyderco knives such as the ladybug/manbug and I think a few others in zdp-189
